Never seen a plastic casing on a cartridge type round before. What is this?
Aprox. .223 size

Is that a blank?
Like the type used for ceremonies?

That's all I could figure it may be. The business end didn't have a hole, just a couple cross slits

Looks a lot like the blanks we used in the army but they were brass.

Snap Cap, practice pulling the trigger without dry firing the rifle.

Interesting, my Snap Caps are ~~red~~ bronze, shaped just like a real round.

Looks like Snap Caps come in a variety of colors and shapes.

So are they just a one shot deal ? Primer End had a dent in it.

All my Snap Caps have a recess where the primer normally is.
I am betting that is a spent "blank".

I thought everybody used plastic cases.

Almost looks like a broken shell extractor
